Performance Opportunities

ANNUAL SHOWCASE

All dancers are given the opportunity to participate in our annual showcase. Dances are choreographed and rehearsed during class time, so instructors assume all students will participate. If your dancer will not perform in the showcase, you must contact the office by January 8th or you will be held responsible for the cost of the costume for each class in which your student is enrolled.

COSTUME FEES^

Intro to Dance I – Essentials II ………. $55

Intermediate I – Advanced ……………. $65

^Costume fees do not include shoes and tights.Dancers at the upper levels may berequiredto purchase additional performance shoes.

All costume fees are placed in your account at the beginning of the year based on the classes in which your child is enrolled. Payments can be made toward costumes at any time but must be paid in full no later than January 15th. Costumes will not be ordered if we do not receive full payment by the deadline.

While we can still try to order a costume after this deadline, we cannot guarantee that it will be in stock, or available at the same price. Families may be responsible for additional rush shipping/special ordering fees.

A separate Annual Showcase handbook will be provided at the beginning of the spring semester with more details about the recital process and requirements.
